About Specialty Cookies
Our Journey Begins: 2017
Specialty Cookies was founded in 2017 with a simple yet ambitious mission: to become the go-to source for all things related to cookies and their countless variations. We saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the online landscape—a dearth of reliable, comprehensive information about these delightful treats that hold such special places in our hearts (and pantries!).
Our journey started as a passion project, driven by a love for baking, curiosity, and a desire to share unique cookie recipes and stories from around the world. Over time, we grew into a dedicated team of food enthusiasts, writers, and researchers.

- 2019: Expansion of our team, leading to more diverse content creation, including baking tutorials and historical cookie articles.
- 2020: Introduction of user-generated content sections, allowing our readers to share their favorite family recipes.
